A review by purpletrashpandareads
Omega Founded by Mae Pierce
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.0
What if an alpha does not wish to lose his mind over an omega's irresistible charms?
I received this ARC copy for free from the author. It does not affect my review
I really wanted to love this book, but I just didn't.
The start was good. Getting to know each other, trying to change who you were to become the person you wish to be.
When the book's big conflict happened, I wanted to stop. Hale's hatred for omegas is just barely disguised misogyny. He hates them for what they are, not for who they are.
No one in his environment called him out on this. They all found it perfectly logical to hate an entire gender/designation because of some events.
This just gave the book incredibly bad vibes. I did not want them to get back together. The grovel phase was good, but I would have been much happier without Hale in this book. I would have preferred to have her married to Ruck with Oliver on the side.
In terms of pace, the book dragged for me. It felt slightly bloated with unnecessary scenes that probably served to set the mood but made me impatient for it to be over.
In terms of content, I disliked the religious themes as well as the HEAVY discrimination plotline. I wish I'd known this before starting because it's not a fun read.
